ANIMATE

Hear ANIMATE In Action

ANIMATE helps you inject life into your mixes in a precise, versatile and colourful way. With four different movement modes, each with individual frequency assignments and mid/side functionality, you’ll get your music jumping out of the speakers precisely how you want.

EXPAND

Expand mode allows you to dial in a pristinely clean sounding upward expansion. This increases the volume of signals over the threshold, giving your audio more dynamic range in a transparent way.

PUNCH

Punch mode enhances the transients of your audio. Whether you want to subtly accentuate the high-frequency transients in the mid-channel of your master or bring out serious smack on an individual channel, Punch can handle the task.

IGNITE

Ignite mode allows you to dial in rich harmonic distortion in a dynamic way based on the input signal. Ignite can increase the perceived loudness, power and presence of a channel without the pumping effects of a compressor.

GROW

Grow mode lets you increase the width of the selected frequencies using a psychoacoustic precedence effect. Grow lets you spread specific frequencies SUPER wide in a dynamic way like never before.

Pro Reviews

Computer Music | Music Radar

While the algorithms behind each module sound excellent, it’s the adjustable dynamic and frequency-based response that defines ANIMATE. The all-important modules themselves are great. Expand applies transparent upward expansion at ratios up to 1:4, while Punch does a superb job of subtly emphasising transients or aggressively sharpening them up. Ignite delivers truly delicious harmonic distortion, drivable into decimation if required, and Grow is ideal for dynamically widening mono sources and spreading out stereo ones.

Pro Tools Expert

ANIMATE adds colour and depth to tracks in really expressive and musical ways whereas other plug-ins of this type can often touch the sound too much. ANIMATE, if used sparingly, lifts and energise tracks in a mix in ways that I have not experienced before.

This thing is pretty fire, I have to say. BIG user of Mastering The Mix products, but this is a Swiss Army Knife plugin. SO many applications!

Audio Plugin Guy

ANIMATE can make delicate instruments more expressive and it can turn drum elements into savage pumping machines. A sound designer will love ANIMATE, and it belongs in many mixing engineer’s arsenal. Simply put, this kicks ass.
